	Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Britannia Biographies
		What a debt we all owe to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation of Sherlock Holmes, one of the most exciting figures in all of English fiction, not to mention Holmes' lovable, genial companion Dr. Watson and his archenemy, the evil Professor Moriarty.
		We can dismiss the rest of Conan Doyle's writings and we can only be amused by his belief in the supernatural and paranormal (he could be easily fooled by even the most amateur spiritualist and charlatan, as Houdini was to discover).
		Doyle's stories about the eccentric, but brilliant detective and his unfailing powers of perception were apparently based on one of his teachers at the University of Edinburgh, where he studied medicine.

		Arthur (later Sir Arthur) Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes Mysteries and more, lived and worked in Aston (now part of Birmingham, but then a separate town) for several months each year, from about Spring 1879 to early 1882.
		Despite such learned work, Doyle was not all serious, and was cautioned by the Aston Police for sending out fake invitations to a Mayor's Ball, as a practical joke.
		Doyle's time here is commemorated by a blue plaque on the front of the modern building which now stands on the site of his former home, at 63, Aston Road North, currently the offices of "Just for Starters" near the northern end of Aston Bridge flyover, opposite the Police Depot.

		Conan Doyle portrayed events from his life as a series of packing cases being loaded onto a wagon and pulled by a flea-bitten workhorse.
		Stashower's intent is to show that Conan Doyle was not Sherlock Holmes, and that his life consisted of much more than the now ridiculed spiritualism to which he devoted much of his later years.
		Conan Doyle himself is an interesting character, though he is nothing like his famous book character.
